I
have never watched property programmes. I watch Property Ladder, because I feel
its very rude for a director to work very hard on a programme and you cant
be bothered to even watch it. So I do watch it, but I have to turn away when Im
on screen. Its quite unpleasant seeing myself up there.Sarah

I kind of hate to be the voice of doom, but I just can't see how prices can't

There's this feeling that they just won't fall, but, of course, that's not true.Sarah

At a time when all the other builders were
selling homes with basements but without
carports, we would sell homes without basements
and with carports. This allowed us to provide
a more appealing product at a lower price.
In other words, we felt we would be giving
customers greater value.Eli

Selling your apartment in New York is like
dating a manic-depressive.. you get used
to cycles of elation and despondency. Every
time someone would come to see the apartment,
there was the thrill of the date. You want
to be presentable, so you clean the place
up, make sure it smells good, put on some
mood lighting and mellow music.Anderson

In my experience, in the real-estate business
past success stories are generally not applicable

Today the strategies of many companies in the real estate industry are premised
on low interest rates, an assumption that has resulted in the rapid expansion
of the real estate securitization business. This trend could be regarded as a
risk factor, as it exposes the real estate sector to at least three potential
problems: first, interest rate hikes; second, revisions to securitization business
accounting standards; and third, overheating in the real estate market.Akira

The disadvantages of a decentralized, spread out urban area are tremendous,

I think selling techniques are basically the same in every country, except
there are different cultures that have different methods of negotiating. But real

Every day, you'll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your
safety net. Sure, it's a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone.. in my case,
business suits and real estate.. but sometimes you have to take risks. When the
risks pay off, that's when you reap the biggest rewards.Donald
